A cytochemical method for the light and electron microscope localization of the K- and Mg-dependent phosphatase component of the Na-K-ATPase complex was applied to rat kidney cortex, utilizing p-nitrophenylphosphate (NPP) as substrate. Localization of K-N-ATPase activity in kidneys fixed by perfusion with 1% paraformaldehyde -0.25% glutaraldehyde demonstrated that distal tubules are the major cortical site for this sodium transport enzyme. Cortical collecting tubules were moderately reactive, whereas activity in proximal tubules was resolved only after short fixation times and long incubations. In all cases, K-NPPase activity was restricted to the cytoplasmic side of the basolateral plasma membranes, which are characterized in these neplron segments by elaborate folding of the cell surface. Although the rat K-NPPase appeared almost completely insensitive to ouabain with this cytochemical medium, parallel studies with the more glycoside-sensitive rabbit kidney indicated that K-NPPase activity in these nephron segments is sensitive to this inhibitor. In addition to K-NPPase, nonspecific alkaline phosphatase also hydrolyzed NPP. The latter could be differentiated cytochemically from the specific phosphatase, since alkaline phosphatase was K-independent, insensitive to ouabain, and specifically inhibited by cysteine. Unlike K-NPPPase, alkaline phosphatase was localized primarily to the extracellular side of the microvillar border of proximal tubules. A small amount of cysteine-sensitive activity was resolved along peritubular surfaces of proximal tubules. Distal tubules were unreactive. In comparative studies, Mg-ATPase activity was localized along the extracellular side of the luminal and basolateral surfaces of proximal and distal tubules and the basolateral membranes of collecting tubules.

Enzyme activity, representing the sites of K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, a component of the sodium, potassium-stimulated-adenosinetriphosphatase system, has been localized in the somatosensory cortex of the rat brain. The reaction product is most obviously associated with fibers that are thought to be axons and dendrites. Large dendrite-like fibers appear to arise in layer 5 of the cortex and arborize in layers 1 through 4. Smaller, reactive fibers are found throughout the cortical layers. Neuron cell bodies did not exhibit substantial enzymatic activity. It did not appear that glia contributed significantly to the activity in cerebral cortex.

1. The ATP sites. Homotropic interactions between ATP sites have been studied in a very large range of Na+ and K+ concentrations. The ( Na+, K+)-activated ATPase displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics for ATP under standard concentration conditions of Na+ (100 mM) and K+ (10 mM). The steady-state kinetics behavior changes at very low concentrations of K+ where negative cooperativity is observed. The existence of a high affinity and a low affinity site for ATP was clearly demonstrated from the study of the ATP stimulated hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate in the presence of Na+ and K+. The ratio of apparent affinities of high and low affinity sites for ATP is 86 at pH 7.5. 2. The Na+ sites. The binding of Na+ to its specific stimulatory sites (internal sites) is characterized by positive cooperativity with a Hill coefficient n(H(Na+))=2.0. Homotropic interactions between Na+ sites are unaffected by variations of the K+ concentration. 3. The K+ sites. (a) Binding of K+ to the (external) stimulatory site of the ATPase has been analyzed by following the (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity as well as the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity in the presence of Na+ and K+ (with or without ATP). Binding is characterized by a Hill coefficient of 1.0 and a K(0.5(K+))=0.1 to 0.8 mM. The absence of positive or negative cooperativity persists between 5 mM and 100 mM Na+. (b) The analysis of the p-nitrophenylphosphatase or of the 2, 4 dinitrophenylphosphatase activity in the presence of K+ alone indicates the existence of low affinity sites for K+ with positive homotropic interactions. The characteristics of stimulation in that case are, K(0.5)=5 mM, n(H)=1.9. The properties of this family of site(s) are the following: firstly, saturation of the low affinity site(s) by K+ prevents ATP binding to its high affinity internal site. Secondly, saturation of the low affinity sites for K+ prevents binding of Na+ to its internal sites. Thirdly, this family of sites disappears in the presence of ATP, p-nitrophenylphosphate or of both substrates, when Na+ binds to its internal sites. Na+ binding to its specific stimulatory sites provokes the formation of the high affinity type of site for K+. 4. Mg2+ stimulation of the (Na+, K+)-ATPase is characterized by a Hill coefficient n(H(Mg2+))=1.0 and a K(0.5(Mg2+))=1 mM stimulation is essentially a V effect. Heterotropic effects between binding of Mg2+ and substrate to their respective sites are small. Heterotropic interactions between the Ms2+, Na+ and K+ sites are also small. 5. The fluidity of membrane lipids also controls the (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity. Phase transitions or separations in the membrane hardly affect recognition properties of substrates, Na+, K+ and Mg2+ for their respective sites on both sides of the membrane. Only the rate of the catalytic transformation is affected.

Poly L-lysine, poly L-ornithine, and histone significantly inhibited the iodide uptake by the thyroid slices, as previously reported. These basic polymers diminshed Na, K-ATPase and concomitantly markedly elevated Mg-ATPase activity in the NaI-treated microsomal preparation and the plasma membrane fraction obtained from thyroid. Poly L-glutamic acid, which was noneffetive to the iodide uptake in vitro, did not show such phenomenon. K-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity which is considered to reflect the terminal step of the reaction sequence of Na, K-ATPase was also inhibited by poly L-lysine. The effects mentioned above of poly L-lysine and other basic polyamino acids on membrane ATPase system were only found in the preparations from thyroid. The inhibitory effect of these reagents on thyroidal iodide uptake was discussed in terms of the change in membrane ATPase activities.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis catalyzed by the plasma membrane (Na+,K+)ATPase isolated from several sources was inhibited by Mg+, provided that K+ and ATP were also present. Phosphorylation of the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by ATP and by inorganic phosphate was also inhibited, as was p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. (Ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and catecholamines protected from and reversed the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by Mg2+, K+ and ATP. EDTA was protected by chelation of Mg2+ but catecholamines acted by some other mechanism. The specificities of various nucleotides as inhibitors (in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+) and as substrates for the (Na+, K+) ATPase were strikingly different. ATP, ADP, beta,gamma-CH2-ATP and alpha,beta-CH2-ADP were active as inhibitors, whereas inosine, cytidine, uridine, and guanosine triphosphates (ITP, CTP, UTP, and GTP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) were not. On the other hand, ATP and CTP were substrates and beta,gamma-NH-ATP was a competitive inhibitor of ATP hydrolysis, but not an inhibitor in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+. The Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum and F1, the Mg2+-ATPase from the inner mitochondrial membrane, were also inhibited by Mg2+. Catecholamines reversed inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase, but not that of F1.

1. Treatment of hamster heart cells in primary culture with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine resulted in the greatly increased activity of a particulate Ca2+- or Mg2+-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase). 2. 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine exerted these effects only when it was incorporated into cellular DNA, and then in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. Serially replated cells contained less of the activity (expressed as a function of total cell protein) than did the primary cultures, but the stimulation caused by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine addition was much greater. 4. The affected enzyme was apparently localized in the plasma membrane of the cells with its active centre exposed to the outer environment [ecto-(ATPase) dependent on Ca2+ or Mg2+].5. The activity was unaffected by treatment with p-chloromercuriphenylsulphonate, ouabain andverapamil. 6. Ecto (5'-nucleotidase) activity was not increased by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine treatment of cells, and ecto-(p-nitrophenyl phosphatase) activity was only slightly enhanced.

The distribution of Na+ pump sites (Na+-K+-ATPase) in the secretory epithelium of the avian salt gland was demonstrated by freeze-dry autoradiographic analysis of [(3)H] ouabain binding sites. Kinetic studies indicated that near saturation of tissue binding sites occurred when slices of salt glands from salt-stressed ducks were exposed to 2.2 muM ouabain (containing 5 muCi/ml [(3)H]ouabain) for 90 min. Washing with label-free Ringer's solution for 90 min extracted only 10% of the inhibitor, an amount which corresponded to ouabain present in the tissue spaces labeled by [(14)C]insulin. Increasing the KCl concentration of the incubation medium reduced the rate of ouabain binding but not the maximal amount bound. In contrast to the low level of ouabain binding to salt glands of ducks maintained on a freshwater regimen, exposure to a salt water diet led to a more than threefold increase in binding within 9-11 days. This increase paralleled the similar increment in Na+-K+-ATPase activity described previously. [(3)H]ouabain binding sites were localized autoradiographically to the folded basolateral plasma membrane of the principal secretory cells. The luminal surfaces of these cells were unlabeled. Mitotically active peripheral cells were also unlabeled. The cell-specific pattern of [(3)H]ouabain binding to principal secretory cells and the membrane-specific localization of binding sites to the nonluminal surfaces of these cells were identical to the distribution of Na+-K+-ATPase as reflected by the cytochemical localization of ouabain-sensitive and K+-dependent nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. The relationship between the nonluminal localization of Na+-K+-ATPase and the possible role of the enzyme n NaCl secretion is considered in the light of physiological data on electrolyte transport in salt glands and other secretory epithelia.

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole [NBD-Cl] with purified eel electrophax Na+ and K+ stimulated adenosine triphosphatase [(Na-K)ATPase] has been monitored by changes in the (Na-K)ATPase activity, the K+ stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase [PNPase] activity, and the protein ultraviolet absorption spectrum. The NBD-Cl reacts with two tyrosine residues per mol of enzyme (approximately 6-7 nmol/mg of protein), as judged by changes in protein absorption spectra and incorporation of [14C]NBD-Cl. The modified tyrosine groups are located on the Mr = 95 000 polypeptide chain and react at different rates. Only one tyrosine modification is necessary for complete inhibition of (Na-K)ATPase activity, although both must be modified for complete inhibition of PNPase activity. Reversal of these modifications by 2-mercaptoethanol restores 65% of both activities. Na+ increases the rate of tyrosine modification, K+ decreases the rate, and ATP affords the more reactive tyrosine group complete protection. NBD-Cl modification of approximately 6-7 nmol of tyrosine groups/mg of protein results in a large decrease in ATP affinity as judged by equilibrium binding. These results are compared with similar results obtained from NBD-Cl modification of the coupling factors of oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. A model is presented suggesting an asymmetric arrangement of two 95 000 polypeptide chains with a single tyrosine residue at the ATP site.

Kinetic parameters are reported for Mg2+, Na+ and K+ as activators of the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity associated with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) of beef brain. In each case the phosphatase reaction is activated at low concentrations of the cation and inhibited by higher concentrations. The concentrations of cation that produced half-maximal activation and half-maximal inhibition are increased as the concentration of either of the other two cations is increased. These second ligand effects are all saturable functions. The apparent binding constant that characterizes the effect on activation is closely similar to that acting upon the inhibitory phase in each case.

1. The requirement for specific polar head groups of phospholipids for activity of purified (Na+ + K+)ATPase from rabbit kidney outer medulla has been investigated. 2. Comparison of content and composition of phospholipids in microsomes and the purified enzyme indicates that purification leads to an increase in the phospholipid/protein ratio and in phosphatidylserine content. 3. The purified preparation contains 267 molecules phospholipid per molecule (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, viz. 95 phosphatidylcholine, 74 phosphatidylethanolamine, 48 spingomyelin, 35 phosphatidylserine and 15 phosphatidylinositol. 4. Complete conversion of phosphatidylserine into phosphatidylethanolamine by the enzyme phosphatidylserine decarboxylase has no effect on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity of the purified preparation. 5. Complete hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol by a phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus, which is specific for this phospholipid, has no effect on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. 6. Hydrolysis of 95% of the phosphatidylcholine and 60--70% of the spingomyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine by another phospholipase C (Clostridium welchii) lowers the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity by about 20%. 7. Combination of the phospholipid-converting enzymes has the same effect as can be calculated from the effects of the enzymes separately. Only complete conversion of both phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol results in a loss of 44% of the (NA+ + K+)-ATPase activity and 36% of the potassium 4-nitrophenylphosphatase activity. 8. These experiments indicate that there is no absolute requirement for one of the polar head groups, although in the absence of negative charges the activity is lower than in their presence.
